ACK! I was trying to avoid this thread! Now I'll have to peruse it.
No, really, thanks for your work on FR. Digging up what needs to be dug up with the light of truth shone on it.
" Must be some kind of celebration at libertarian central knowing they've created a socialist landslide in the middle of a war."
Jeremiah, I should have sent that privat and meant to do so. I'm sorry.
They are very happy with the election results.
Except the L cowards of Free Republic want to blame us.
That is like blaming the rape of a young girl on the girl because she wasn't packing a 45.
As far as I'm concerned .. Libertarians can go piss up a tree
I will never forget this election
None of us will forget this election.
The L's are like 5 years olds. A couple of months ago our 5 year grandson ran his Tonka Truck into a Ceramic Rabbit I had given my wife over 20 years ago.
Never mind the Ceramic Rabbit was in the same place in our living room for over 20 years.
Never mind the Tonka Truck was to stay in his room or the family room.
Never mind he had been told not to bring the Tonka Truck into the living room.
After he smashed the beautiful rabbit into over a hundred pieces. He told my wife that she should have had the bunny where it could get broken by him.
His Dad discussed this with him. On his last trip up, he apologized to his Grandmother.
Of course with the big L's, there will be no apologies as it was our fault.
Thanks for your comments, and freepmail coming your way. (You can ask the mods to remove it and they probably will, if any of them are awake!)
gondram - here'a comment a very well-spoken and deep thinking freeper made on another thread, and the whole discussion is highly interesting. He says what I would like to say better than I can:
"Because of nanny-staters like you!"
You could not be more wrong about me -- as a Republican, I favor local standards, not Federal micromanagement of communities, schools, etc.
Before aggressive Federal judicial social activism fueled in no small part by feminist/socialist/pansexualist lobbying, communities were free to exercise social control of extended family and community for the benefit of children; for instance, a community could fire the young elementary-school librarian who became pregnant by a male teacher with a wife and 3 kids in the same town. The wife and kids were devastated socially and thrown on the welfare of the community, not to mention the effect on the pupils when the teacher abandoned his family to go live unmarried with the librarian. This was an actual case that was brought before the Supreme Court, which affirmed the librarian's right to keep her job.
There are thousands of examples of cases that were used throughout the 70s and 80s to destroy community-based protections for children. The growth of urban anonimity has also provided safe haven for many kinds of abuses against children by various kinds of predators inside and outside their families. And what was this librarian to the pre-existing wife and children, if not a predator? Other taxpayers in the community did not wish to reward the librarian's callous unconcern for their well-being.
Do you excuse "liberty-seekers" for using the courts to hammer individual "freedoms" no matter whose defenseless children get abandoned in the process?
No political ideology is going to solve the problem of personal irresponsibility. Criminalizing Christian expression as "hate speech" is, however, going to eliminate one of the most historically effective means of empowering individuals to solve personal problems and assume personal responsibility. The homosexual movement has been aggressive in labeling Christianity "bigotry" because of its age-old teachings that utter sexual libertarianism greatly increases the risks, dangers and harms to individuals and society.

Big Setback for Gay Marriage
Well the L's got what they wanted
I hope they choke on it
I've gotten involved in a conference call with people in California who seem to under the impression its still early... but I wanted to respond quickly how much I appreciated your Freepmail and the information in that last post - I'll be able to look at it late tongiht. Thanks again.
How about you save your conniption for the morons who actually voted for Democrats? Libertarians didn't cost a single candidate an election. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I voted straight Republican.
Thanks!
It is early, although it's been dark since about 3PM (I'm in the woods and it's raining of course). :-)
Besides, if the libertarians can throw a Congressional majority out of office, they need to explain why they let us all suffer through 40 years of Democrats controlling the House.
Bump for later response.
The Republicans did it to themselves.
